and it is as socially aware as only a studio from The Netherlands - one of the most progressive European nations - could be.

Speaks for itself really.

Unfortunate they didn't elaborate more specifically.

Assuming they were not allowed to.

Perhaps.

I just watched the story trailer and some gameplay videos.. white males do seem to be the only antagonists. It's too bad. Aside from her ugly face and not so subtle reverse racism the game it self looks quite good.

Not really from what I have seen and read. There is a Matriarchal society, but they are shown to have their own issues and biases. Other societys aren't matriarchal, and the game doesn't say one is better than the others. The bad guys are bad for what they are trying to accomplish, not their skin color or sexual preference or whatever.

Also, videos have shown female bandits when Aloy is clearing out settlements and such, so I am not sure where all this "all the villains are white males" came from.

Yet they seem to only be white males.

Watch it your self. I don't think I saw a single white male aside from the villains. Oh, and supposedly her mentor is a white male. So mentor/super villains. Not so sure that balances it out.

So, okay, I watched the trailer, is the entire outcry on this board like the "Star Wars is the start of the white genocide" thing? Is that what we're doing here?

So you watched the trailer.. you saw that white males were indeed the only villains despite the game being a rainbow of races/genders and since you can't refute that you instead decide to ask an obviously stupid and hyperbolic question in order to try win the "argument".

If you don't have an actual rebuttal or thought on the fact that villains in this game only seem to be white male based on video evidence than just f*** off. Save your liberal mental gymnastics and constant diminishing of any issue white people face because you're either racist or self hating for someone else.
